LAKE SUPERIOR – Forty-six years ago today, the Edmund Fitzgerald was caught in the grip of a deadly storm on Lake Superior.

Investigators would later say the Mighty Fitz’s course had put her in the “worst possible place” amid the monstrous waves of that November gale.

When she sank with all 29 souls aboard on Nov. 10, 1975, the big freighter’s story quickly became the Great Lake’s most well-known shipwreck.
